It was reported that after three cycles of chemotherapy, the two duodenal semss had migrated to the transverse colon and it was determined to remove them for avoiding perforation.It is hard to confirm the manufacturing history of the product because the serial number was not informed to us.Migration can be occurred by other company's device as well as ours.It is affected by patient's lesion status, peristalsis of organs, and drug use in general.Based on the description, "the physician commented that the obstruction seemed to be reduced by chemotherapy and it might cause migration," it is assumed that the stent migration occurred due to reduction of obstruction by chemotherapy, not stent malfunction.Through the user manual by taewoong, it is stated that, "potential complications associated with the use of niti-s & comvi stent may include, but are not limited to: migration." the suspected device is not registered in the u.S., and there will be continued to monitor the same, or similar customer complaints.
